Ye Yu looked at Jiang Kehan seriously and made a request to her in a somewhat humble manner.
"But every now and then, the recurring history will take some detours, causing history to go in an unexpected direction, which in turn makes these dead aware of their own death."
"That's why I need your help, unknown witch."
"You need to live here and work with me to investigate the causes of the historical deviation and eventually restore it."
Jiang Kehan also stared at Ye Yu and asked directly.
"And what about the reward?"
She's risking her life to do this, so surely Ye Yu can offer her a satisfactory reward?
Otherwise, Jiang Kehan would insist on going out no matter what.
"Everything you gain here can be brought back to reality, including your strength," Ye Yu chuckled.
"This is the golden age before the birth of the Great Witch, and also the most favorable time for the Middle Witch to improve herself."
"Everything is right before your eyes, everything is in your hands."
"If all goes well, you could even become a great witch within a year."
Jiang Kehan smiled, nodded somewhat aloofly, and said, "That's more like it."
In reality, all she could think about right now was—I'm rich! What does it mean to become a great witch in a year?!
Even Li Hui, who's a wall-hungry guy, couldn't achieve that!
"Wait, do you mean the time here is synchronized with reality?" Jiang Kehan keenly noticed something was wrong and pressed Ye Yu for an answer.
“Of course, this is also reality in a sense.” Ye Yu looked at Jiang Kehan with some curiosity. “Didn’t the person who invited you tell you that?”
She told me nothing, she didn't say anything at all!!!
Jiang Kehan looked downcast, somewhat exasperated, and silently gazed at the sky.
Clara, you jerk! I shouldn't have trusted you!!!
Chapter 292 Wilderness Survival
After careful consideration, Jiang Kehan made a rather unreasonable request.
"What kind of reward is it if I earn it all through my own efforts? It's what I deserve, so I have one more condition!"
Ye Yu looked at her amusedly and asked, "What do you want? I'll try my best to satisfy you."
As the witch who guards the gate to time and space of the Fran Empire, Ye Yu's strength is not as simple as that of a mere great witch.
On the contrary, one could even say that she single-handedly suppressed all the failed witches of that era.
Although there might be some exaggeration, just say that the town wasn't actually suppressed.
"I want your guidance, but I won't push my luck too much. It won't involve learning magic; it'll just be everyday knowledge."
Jiang Kehan said earnestly.
Ye Yu suppressed his laughter, feeling unusually embarrassed.
It's not that she's petty; if Jiang Kehan wanted money or magic, she would be very generous in giving it to her, and the amount would definitely be enough to satisfy even a normal great witch.
But Jiang Kehan wanted guidance, which made things difficult.
Ye Yu hadn't returned to reality for a long time, and she wasn't sure if the common sense she knew was valuable in the imaginary world, or if she could teach it to Jiang Kehan.
But thinking of the person who recommended her, she still sighed slightly and said...
"What a cunning witch. I'll grant your request, but there's something I need to tell you beforehand."
Jiang Kehan was somewhat excited. Why was she staying in the imaginary land?
It's all to make up for the fact that she lacks more than ten years of knowledge compared to normal witches, and that she has no parents to rely on, so she has to buy everything herself.
Witch knowledge is most easily obtained in the Imaginary Land, where it can be bought with money. However, obtaining witch knowledge in the Ideal Land requires special privileges. As for Gensokyo, it is not connected to the internet, so there is nowhere to buy it.
Now that we have a teacher whose strength is at least that of a great witch, wouldn't all the above problems be easily solved?
"What is it?" Jiang Kehan, who had gotten the better deal, behaved unusually well, smiling broadly.
"The reason I need you is because I cannot intervene," Ye Yu reminded him. "Because of the issue of uniqueness, my intervention would truly change history, but you are different."
Jiang Kehan's smile gradually faded. She stared at Ye Yu's exquisite face, speechless for a long time.
You mean, you want someone who's only officially becoming a witch in two days and is still in the process of transformation to fight in World War II?!
Is it true or not? Her life matters too!
Therefore, we need to pay extra.
"Don't worry too much. As long as you don't do anything reckless, there's not much danger." Ye Yu looked at Jiang Kehan's silent gaze and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, so he quickly added.
She's not short of money, but she's really afraid that Jiang Kehan will just run away, that would be interesting.
The time portals of various countries lack talents like Jiang Kehan who are recommended. After all, not all witches are qualified to stand out in the era of the Society and thus explore the twists and turns of history.
It requires a high level of talent, temperament, and even wisdom.
Due to the unique nature of its history, the time portal in Fran has undergone numerous mutations, and no suitable witch has been found to handle them, forcing the use of witches of lesser skill to patch things up.
But with too much patching and mending, the resentment of the witches who failed in the past will only gradually accumulate and will not disappear, until finally they unleash a major attack.
For example, the birth of a certain current vengeful spirit, the Great Witch, is inextricably linked to these things, and the manpower spent in subduing her even made the various empires feel distressed.
If this attempt to correct the situation is only barely successful, then an explosion is not far off.
"If you don't mind, I can teach you some of my rare spells from time to time, as a last resort."
"If you take any more, I might bite you," Ye Yu said helplessly.
Jiang Kehan knew she had already gotten a huge advantage, so she decided to stop while she was ahead and asked a few key questions.
"So where should we begin our investigation? And could you send a few letters to my friends?"
Leaving without saying goodbye is hardly a good habit. If Clara hadn't been such a troublemaker, Jiang Kehan would still be chatting with her friends right now.
Especially Qin Luoyu's place, she has quite a few customers making appointments for next week.
If there were no news at all, other people might actually call the police and get really angry.
"There's no need to worry about that. I'm sure Ms. Clara, who recommended you, will handle all of this."
"Moreover, the portal to time and space is usually a one-way street; you can only leave when it resets. In other words, we can only leave when your mission is completed."
Jiang Kehan's lips twitched slightly. She couldn't help but cover her face, feeling despair at Clara's extreme capriciousness.
Or are all so-called big shots this individualistic?
There's a kind of beauty that disregards human life and death.
"As for the investigation, you don't need to do it yourself." Ye Yu smiled, but his gaze went past the gaps in the leaves above Jiang Kehan's head, as if he had seen through countless years.
"As long as you survive, you will inevitably find clues, and it won't take long."
"After all, this era won't be this quiet."
Jiang Kehan also looked up, and just then a bird flew across the sky, blocking out the sun and leaving a shadow that left much to the imagination.
She understood perfectly well that every turbulent era is fraught with danger, but isn't the key to seizing opportunities to snatch chestnuts from the fire, to be like a moth drawn to a flame?
As a witch, one must be more competitive than other races; only in this way can one hold onto what one cares about.
“Well said. Then, Sister Ye Yu, could you please introduce the situation of Fran in this era? I am a citizen of the Kongdu Great Hua Empire.”
Jiang Kehan nudged Ye Yu, who was starting to feel melancholic, and asked bluntly.
"If you don't explain yourself clearly, we might have to go begging for food."
Ye Yu came to his senses and a malicious smile appeared on his lips: "The French in this era are still very simple and honest. They won't go hungry, but it's unlikely they'll get any food."
"Fran has a relatively low population density, and its air island cluster model is different from that of Dahua Air City."
"The entire Fran is composed of three super-giant sky islands, which are already three interconnected continents, and beneath the sky islands lies the Sea of Despair."
"At your speed, it will take us at least four days to find the nearest village. If we want to eat, we'll have to hunt for ourselves."
This is so simple and unpretentious!
Jiang Kehan was speechless. She looked around. This was the junction of forest and grassland, which didn't seem very logical.
But the special energy that permeates every corner means that the creatures living in this era will not be bound by nature.
All sorts of wonders will be everywhere.
Jiang Kehan silently took out paper and pen, intending to record this special experience, after all, she had personally stepped into history.
So she wrote the following words.
My first three days in France began with wilderness survival.
Chapter 293 Can you guarantee the authenticity of this great witch?
After Jiang Kehan put down her pen and paper, Ye Yu calmly pulled the warm contract from the valley of his chest and handed it to her.
"Signing this contract marks the official start of the mission. I hope you will take good care of me."
Jiang Kehan broke out in a cold sweat. Putting aside the question of where Ye Yu had drawn the contract from, she had a feeling that she had been tricked into becoming a magical girl by some white creature.
However, upon seeing the contract, she remembered something.
A cat ball?!
If she doesn't go back for a long time, won't the cats think she's abandoned them?
Jiang Kehan had meticulously designed a gentle trap to "trick" them into signing a lifelong contract.
"Um, what if I raise a few cat balls?"
Jiang Kehan looked at Ye Yu pitifully, but what she said made Ye Yu pause slightly.
Ye Yu squinted his eyes, suddenly moved closer to Jiang Kehan, and twitched his nose slightly, as if he was smelling something.
"You don't seem to have any of the cat's scent on you, so you're probably not a pet."
Sister Yeyu, are you a cat too?
Jiang Kehan took two steps back, feeling a little embarrassed, mainly because the other person's fragrance had offended her.
"Not a pet, but a partner bound by a contract."
